The new N97 will cost about 700 USD. It’ll boast a full QWERTY-keyboard, a resistive touchscreen (3.5”, 640×360), 32GB of built-in memory and a 5 megapixel camera probably capable of recording video too.

Natively Sync Google Calendar with iPhone/iPod Touch [Yay]
NuevaSync (free) utilizes the built-in Microsoft Exchange support in the iPhone to make native synchronization of Google Calendar possible. Most importantly, the service actually uses PUSH (really this time) to propagate changes issued to the calendar immediately. Finally this has been made possible at no cost, without extra software.
Support for anything other than Outlook on the iPhone has been a long standing issue ever since the marveled mobile device was released. As I described earlier on the subject, one had to go through an irritable/expensive rigamarole to get Google Calendar events synchronized with the iPhone or iPod touch. And if you got it working in the end, you either had to make due with some missing data or pay good money for a third-party application to get the job done.
Review: Wordpress [iPhone App]
Wordpress finally puts out its native app for the iPhone. While at first the promising UI aspects look exciting, the application turns out to be a bit of disappointment. It’s definitely a 1.0-application. A short review. Rating: 
A bit late in the game, Wordpress finally decided to come out with its application for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The promise is that you’ll be able to blog from anywhere in an easy and robust fashion. I’ve spent some time with this application and ended up with a mixed experience. Robust, yes. Easy, not quite.
Version: 1.0
Price: Free
Wordpress App for iPhone
Automattic released their first Wordpress application for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch today, shortly after the 2.6 update to their blogging software. This simple app interfaces with any self-hosted or Wordpress.com-hosted weblog and allows you to edit and post entries on the go.
I’ve downloaded the app to my trusty iPod Touch and will be reviewing it extensively once I’ve had the chance to play with it. From now on, not having a computer around will undoubtedly no longer be an excuse to lag on blogging.
Stop the Apple iCraze
The Apple craze was ignited once more since the launch of the iPhone 3G. People waiting in line to spend money, while signing ludicrously expensive carrier contracts, makes me wonder if all this folly is justifiable, sometimes. While 3G and GPS may be interesting enough, the revelation of the iPhone as a platform turns out to be the true point of excitement.
As expected, the usual craze started after the latest installment of the Apple iPhone was officially launched. Immense queues started lining up in front of Apple Stores while people went berserk to get their hands on this piece of gadgetry. One may wonder: “Is it all worth it?”. Since I don’t own an iPhone 3G, I’ll leave the review up to the pros, whom are spread thickly over the net. This Google search should get you going in case you’re the type to research a big investment as such before you buy.

iPod Touch: ‘January Software Upgrade’ after 1.1.4
When the 1.1.3 firmware upgrade came along for the iPod Touch, I decided to hold off a little. The additions to the OS were Mail, Maps, Stocks, Notes and the customizable Home Screen. The upgrade cost 20 USD or 17.99 EUR. Short thereafter 1.1.4 was released, which caused the notification for the ‘January Software Upgrade’ to disappear.
Afterwards I decided to purchase the upgrade anyway, but couldn’t find a trace of it anymore. The link on Apple’s website points to a page in iTunes, but clicking on the ‘OK’-button resulted into a blank page. Over and over again.
After some Google-foo I found the following link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=271872604&s=143441. From here, I was perfectly able to purchase the update after all.
I wonder why Apple doesn’t make it easier for them to haul in even more money.
Ah well.
